New YorE's Big Eating Houses.

The largest eating houses on the CONT
nent are at Washington market. There
are two OF these enormous concerns, each
a long block in length, each employing
from 100 to $50 hands, and one selling
10000 meals "A day while the other fur
nishes at least 5000 meals. Sample
prices that indicate the rates generally
are coffee five cents, roast beef and po-
tatoes fifteen cents, buildings ten cents.
One of these concerns uses 500 worth of
ice a day and makes away with 1900
quarts of milk in the anne period. The
larger of the two was started fifteen
years ago by a man who pawned his
watch for $13 to found a coffee and cake
stand where his marble wainscoted,
marble floored restaurant is today Ju-

coRsgTs AND CONSUMPTION.
A Radical Difference In Male and Fe-
male neutrality-suspicious. Conclusion.

A Radical Difference In Male and Fe-
male Neutrality-suspicious. Conclusion.
The mechanism of breathing may be
effected by W. separate and distinct
sorts of nerves and muscles. The upper
portion of the body, including the ribs
AID thorax generally, may expand, and
lG.reby draw air into the lungs. This is
termed costal breathing, literally rib
breathing. On the other hand, the mus
cles of the abdomen may come into play,
and by depressing the diaphragm, may
thus increase the chest cavity. In this
type, termed abdominal or diaphragmatic
breathing, the muscles of the upper part
OF the body remain inactive. Boerhaave,
IN 1744, observed a radical difference in
male and female breathing. The mas
culine type is abdominal, the female is
coastal.
On these premises DIR. Thomas ]. Mays,
of Philadelphia, has based an interesting
investigation. 1t appears highly proba-
bic that the reason of the costal breath
ing of women is that they compress the
diaphragmatic region with corsets, SO as
to suppress all but costal breathing, and
SO as to develop the latter highly. DIR.
Mays subjected a number of Indian
women to examination. He used a mod
ification of Paul Bert's pn~eumograph.
BY this apparatus a trace indicative of
the extent of chest and of abdominal
movement was produced SO as to show
in graphic form the relative proportions
of the two types of breathing in the same
subject. The result was that he found
the majority of Indian women to breathe
almost entirely with the diaphragm.
Their pneumograph tracings correspond
ed closely with those of white men. As
the Indian women do not wear corsets,
this investigation tended to prove that
corsets were the cause of costal breath
ing.
The most curious conclusion, however,
Is the possible influence of corsets on
consumption. Admitting that they are
the cause of costal breathing, and accept
ing the theory that costal breathing is a
corrective of consumption, a plea for
these articles of attire is at once estab-
lished as preventives of the dreaded NAL
ady. The possibility of this benefit is
increased by the consideration that men
are, on the whole, more subject to it
than women, and that Indians seem
peculiarly its subjects. Yet the case is
far from proved, and it would be rash to
consider the corset side of the question
as proved. Admitting ever that corsets
diminish consumption, the account
against them, when used injudiciously,
must be regarded as far from balanced
by any good of this sort that may be
attributed to them.-Scientific American.

Progress in the treatment of disease is
not everywhere the modern order, the
Moors, whose medical practice is a sin
gular mixture of a little real skill with
an astonishing amount of ignorant super
%stition, seeming to be actually going
backward. Says a recent writer: 1.-The
Moorish medicine man'-we can hardly
call him doctor-certainly displays some
skill in COUGHING for cataract. He has
also an original method of curing irrita-
ton of the eyes due to the presence of
foreign bodies. With much skill he passes
his tongue over the open eye of the pa
tent, and thus, without irritating, re-
moves the sand, grit, etc.
"For cupping, the Moor also makes
good use of his mouth; a cows horn is
placed over the part, and from a hole at
the point of the horn the operator sucks
out the blood, etc. But the Moor who
ventures on such treatment will, with
equal confidence, prescribe gold dust, or
the scrapings from the horn of a rhi-
noceros, as an emmenagogue, n will
give an idle man ants to eat, or suggest
that a coward should try and procure for
his meal a little lions flesh" The fumes
of burning animal bodies are supposed to
exert a strengthening influence. An eff
fectual use is made of c"auterization; and
an excellent syrup. for coughs and colds
is prepared by boiling figs, dates and
raisins. Fractures are dressed with
splinters and tow soaked in honey. Dis
ease is attributed to evil spirits, and
noises and n display of weapons are ex-
pected to brighten them away. False
teeth and other European innovations are
resented as an interference with divine
wil.-Arkansaw Traveller.

One of the most curious things arising
from the use of the telephone is the de-
velopment of the telephone ear" At
any lecture, where the speaker can be
heard only with difficulty, it will be seen
that every listener will turn the ear he
uses at the telephone. This would seem
to prove that the telephone quickens
rather than dulls the hearing. Yet you
tell a person the other ear is not good and
he will get indignant. Here in the cen

slant strain. we do not notice that the
other ear suffers from the disusc. Per-

A curious story regarding Bazaine
comes from Madrid. The ''Man of
Metz" as the French call him, one after
noon a few days ago stepped into a con-
f~ectionor's shop in the Gale de Alcala.
1t was kept by a Frenchman, but Of this
fact Bazaine was ignorant. The place
was full of people, carriages on the way
&c the Buen Retro having stopped before
the door that the occupants might in
dulge in IN ice or other delicacy. Ba-
zaine approached a table. The crowd
nudged each other and whispered, while
the proprietor, standing at his desk, rec
ognized him and turned pale, but said
nothing. The ex-marshal took a cake
from a plate and began eating without
apparently noticing the commotion his
entrance had occasioned. The confec-
toner disappeared for a moment in a
rear room, then returning with a large
hamper, threw all the cakes exposed for
sale into it, passed into the street and de-
posted the contents of the hamper into
the gutter. Returning, he said to his be-
wildered patrons: Gentlemen, the shop
is closed for today. 1t will be open to-
morrow" Bazaine understood, grew
hvid with anger, put down a piece Of
money on the cashiers desk and left.
The Frenchman took up the coin with a
shovel and threw it among the cakes,
which the dogs were already fighting
over. Then turning to his customers,
who were preparing to leave, considera-
bly, impressed by this display of Gallo
patriotism, he remarked: Ladies and
gentlemen, 1 knew you would not have
cared to handle cakes that Bazaine had

"FORTUNE,S FOOL.
Louise Rial, the Emotional Actress,
Makes Her First Appearance in
Lending Part i'm This CITY.

LcauIuS F6rt IN rms CITY.
Notwithstanding fortunes Fool' has
skillfully wrought plot and is full of dra-
matte action, it is faulty in the respect that
it places the appearance of the leading
character, or what ought to be the leading
character OF the play, at too great intervals
apart. 1t may not be unfair criticism to
say that this fault is owing to the fact that
the author OF the play imperSonates the sec.
ond character in Importance in the play, and
with pardonable weakness in human nature
sought to construct it SO that his own
part bears too great a prominence.
Whether this assumption be just or unjust
to the author, it is nevertheless a fact that
the part of Coralie Lovot is kept too much
in the background Coralie is the charac-
ter assumed by Miss Rial, and upon her in
depreciation OF it mainly depends the sue
cess of the performance. One commenda-
BILE feature of the drama is that it gives Miss
Rial, for whom the play was written, a
splendid opportunity to show remarkable
versatility of talent. At first there is a
charming coquetrY of action, then bitter
denunciation, again cunning and design, and
finally the heaviest tragedy work, in
all OF which she displays the
most finished dramatic work that has been
ment Miss Rial is lady of commanding
personal presence, easy and graceful in her
movement, with mobile face capable of
expressing passion effectively. The part of
Carolie is not pleasing one, being that of
Partisan danSeuSe who marries man she
fancies she loves and afterwards discovers
her mistake and then becomes human
tigress. But Miss Rial's impersonation of
of the French adventures is an artistic
triumph of emotional acting which
reaches the climax in the last
act of the play. She succeeded
last evening in holding the attention of her
audience. which gave its mark of apprecia-
ton by liberal applause and by calling for a
ring-up OF the curtain at the end of each
act in which she appeared. The support
ing company is good Mr.. Marion, the
leading support and author of the play. is

much OF the character of Jack Thornton as
it is possible. Fred j. Longs comedy work
